"Sound is subjective so that’s open for debate, but mechanically it felt like I was driving some sort of supercar....I’ve never felt a clarinet feel so tightly put together under my fingers...I swear I was playing a flute mechanism, It was so light and precise!"

No argument there. The keywork is also innovative. For example, the rod for the throat A key isn't perpendicular to the one for the G#; it's slanted to minimize the lateral travel of the adjustment screw when the A key pushes it up. And the screw is actually sort of a bolt that ends in a small circular plate with tech cork on it, instead of the usual screw tip that rubs on a cork on the A key that has to be replaced periodically. It's also the first LH Eb key I've tried that I've never hit when I didn't want to. The little stuff is important.
